Wishing harm on President-Elect of the United States Donald J. Trump on Twitter is one of the hottest new trends here in 2016-17.
The latest to get in on the inappropriate action?
His favorite old nemesis, Rosie O’Donnell!
Less than a week after Charlie Sheen pleaded with God to kill Trump, O’Donnell threw out a (slightly) less overt request on her account.
“DONALD TRUMP IS MENTALLY UNSTABLE. LESS THAN 3 WEEKS TO STOP HIM AMERICA,” read her tweet that linked to CNN.
No, the cable news network didn’t report on people trying to off Trump; CNN’s story was about Trump booting a biographer off a golf course.
Why Rosie chose that of all Trump stories, we cannot say, but trying to apply any logic to Rosie O’Donnell is like trying to explain Trump.
In general. These two deserve each other.
Obviously, some vocal members of the 46 percent of America who elected Trump in a self-proclaimed landslide weren’t happy about this:
Rosie’s call for America to “STOP HIM” can be perceived as a veiled threat, and one that is sadly no shock given the entertainers’ history.
They’ve been at each other’s throats for nearly a decade, back when Trump was hosting The Apprentice and Rosie was … still Rosie.
Looks like he got the last laugh in this beef.
No explanation was given about the remark, but O’Donnell also tweeted a quote from Maria Robinson in her call to anti-Trump action.
The quasi-ominous quote reads, “Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”
For good measure, O’Donnell then retweeted a GIF of Russian President Vladimir Putin pulling on strings to control his “puppet,” Trump.
And, she shared a re-tweeted of Trump depicted as a clown, reading, “You cannot put a crown on a clown & expect him to behave like a king.”
Oooh, burn. Bet that one really stings and makes a difference. Straight out of the uber-successful Hillary Clinton 2016 playbook there.
Trump and O’Donnell’s feud was rekindled in August 2015, when Trump brought her up in vile context during a GOP presidential debate.
Amazingly, it wasn’t even close to one of the most absurd things he said or did during the campaign, but at the time, it was rather nuts.
Asked by Fox News’ Megyn Kelly about his alleged history of calling women “fat pigs,” “dogs,” “slobs” and “disgusting animals,” Trump said:
“Only Rosie O’Donnell.”
They remained vocal enemies throughout the 2016 presidential election cycle, and we don’t expect anything to change January 20.
Except for a possible visit to Rosie’s house by the Secret Service and/or “Second Amendment People” if she keeps up these tweets.
You know how Donnie rolls. While calling for the assassination of politicians is never cool, we know he’ll likely respond in kind on Twitter.
